UR Friends, and all those who may have to write to us, are requested to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURG, arid to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 101., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng lan Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note ; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather he made in Bills of Exchange, on London. To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our Correspondents not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. „ 7 1, T , S~~a ~. ~~, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1836. Mr. JOHN LESLIE, one of the Governors and Directors of the poor or the parish of St. George's, Hanover-square, has just published a pamphlet illus trative of the principles upon which the metropolitan poor rate is administered, to which the writer has ap pended observations intended to show the evils of esta blishing a system of Poor Laws in Ireland. Our re ference to this pamphlet shall be solely confined to the part which relates to the sister country. Had not Ireland engaged Mr. LESLIE'S attention in his zeal to protect the poor frotn what he regards as the source of all our social miseries, it is probable that we should have allowed the parishioners of St. George's to decide upon the merits— literary and statistical—of this tract. But when—not content with the praises bestowed upon him by his fellow-parishioners, for really important services in the correction of acknow ledged parochial abuses—he steps forward to direct the Legislature on the subject of Irish grievances, it be comes our duty to inform him that there is nothing at all new, either in the remedy which he suggests, or in the mode in which he communicates it to the world. On the contrary, his assumptions of fact, as regards the general operation of the Poor Law in this country, arc quite erroneous—the result of such an examination of a great moral question, as contents itself with occa sional references to the Statute-book. Mr. LESLIE condemns the whole system of Poor Laws. "It may be asked," he says—" can the poor do better without any laws for their relief ? lam of opinion that they would obtain more real advantages, both pecuniary and moral, if no such laws were in exis tence." Wherefore, then, are the people of Ireland not happier than their fellow-subjects in this country ? How is it that we cannot discover among them evi dences of those pecuniary and moral advantages which are destroyed by the working of a compulsory system of Poor Laws ? Crime has not been generated by Poor Laws in Ireland ; yet agrarian outrages are more frequent there than here—drunkenness is twice as common—pauperism has spread like a leprosy over the face of the land ; and if bastardy, the desertion of wives and children, and the neglect of parents, are of more rare occurrence, the cause is to be sought for solely in the religious principles of the people, and the influence of the Catholic priesthood over the minds of their flocks. Mr. LESLIE argue s by analogy, where no grounds for such analogy exist. H e assumes that because Poor Laws have been found to operate in a certain way in a country filled with manufactures, overflowing with trade, and abounding in wealth ; therefore these laws —no matter how modified —will produce precisely the same effects in a country destitute of capital, of machinery, of trade—of everything but o p press i on on the one hand, and squalid destitution on the other. Mr. LESLIE seems to overlook that to the operation of the Poor Law system in England, we are, in a great measure, indebted for the rise of manufacturing industry in this country. We grant that durin g the last quarter of a century, Poor Laws have been the oc casion of great moral evil ; but be it remembered that the abuses of the system are not essential to its exis tence, as is proved by the passing of the Amendment Act ; and, furthermore, that the laws of bastardy and settlement—the real sources of the moral evil—would not require to be included in any system of Poor Laws at present about to be established in Ireland. In all the countries where there is an equality of condition among the mass of the population, and which offers facilities for the profitable introduction of manufactures, the establishment of a compulsory system of Poor Laws must increase the'general prosperity, by develop ing new sources for multiplying the general wealth. Its operation only becomes oppressive when the com mercial industry of the community is incapable of fur ther extension. This could not happen to Ireland in a shorter period than a century, at the very least. But enough on the subject of Mr. LESLIE'S general reasoning. We will proceed at once to his remedy for the grievances of Ireland—his panacea for Poor Laws : " What is ONE GREAT CAUSE of the distress to millions of the inhabitants of Ireland ? ' There is not in Ireland that division of labour which exists in Great Britain ; the body of the labouring class look to agricultural employment, and to it only, for support; the supply is thus so considerable as greatly to exceed the demand for it ; hence come small earnings and wide-spread misery.' " Here, then, is a state of circumstances involving, not the happiness, not the comfort, but the very existence of nearly six millions of our fellow creatures, and subjects of the same monarchy. " LET THE LEGISLATURE AT ONCE GRAPPLE WITH THIS FACT.—/t had its origin in the Statute Book, and to annihi late it would be the greatest achievement of modern states men. The disorder is not confined to a particular locality in that country, but extends itself through the whole length and breadth of it. " The evil to be overcome is a great one, and therefore re quires a corresponding greatness of effort. To be effective, the remedy must be prompt, large, and liberal ; and must not be doled out with a niggard hand. Give the population of Ireland an alternative, besides looking to agricultural employ ment, and to it only, for support.' " In doing this, the greatest care must be to avoid (what I am of opinion poor laws would insure) permanent evils to the country. I will suppose a great present pecuniary sacrifice on the part of the common revenue, for the purpose of forming some great national work in Ireland,—not to be carried into effect by local jobbers, but through the instrumentality of re sponsible parties,—the executive government. For example, a great railway, intersecting the most populous parts of the country, with a terminus at each end in some well adapted sea ports. A work of this, or any other similarly great character, begun and carried on with the vigour which a parliamentary grant alone could give it, would not only absorb the redundant labour, but prove (as the Caledonian Canal has proved to Scotland), of incalculable moral and social advantage to the whole country ; it would be, as that great work was, the means of making the peasantry familiar with the most improved ma chinery and tools, and it would advance civilization most rapidly, because of the impetus it would give to industry. " A work of such a character would instantly compel the landlords of Ireland to unite in this process of civilisation, un less they were anxious that their lands should go out of culti vation. The return Great Britain might expect, from a judi cious application of two or three millions of the revenue, would be in the great moral improvement, and the advance in civilization, of two-thirds of the whole population of Ireland; and (what is of far less consequence in a question involving the existence of six millions of our common nature,) a pecu niary return, by a toll on the produce and merchandize to be conveyed by the rail-road.." The people of Ireland demand a ratification of their right to the means of existence, and Mr. LESLIE advises Parliament to employ them in making a railroad at the expense of England and Scotland. Neither Mr. LESLIE, nor any other person, who is in the habit of seeing this Journal, can for a moment suspect us of under-rating the national importance of railroads. We were certainly the first London Paper to suggest to the Government the advantages of esta blishing such modes of inter-communication between the different districts of Ireland, and we are happy to state that our efforts have not proved unavailing. But a railroad is not all that is wanted. It must be the dect, rather than the cause of Ireland's amelioration, to produce the results which Mr. LESLIE anticipates from it. Suppose, for example, the railroad finished, what are the poor employed in making it to do then ? A railroad cannot of itself build comfortable cottages—erect linen, cotton, muslin, and silk manufactures. It cannot sink mines, drain bogs, raise foundries, and cultivate wastes—and all these things must be done before Ire land can be made contented or happy. But observes Mr. LESLIE—" A work of such a character would instantly compel the landlords of Ireland to unite in this process of civilization, unless they were anxious that their lands should go out of cultivation." This is rather an ominous saving clause. Suppose the landlords of Ireland indifferent as to the cultivation of their lands—as the majority of them are at present, and ever have been—what remedy does the railroad provide for their starving tenantry ? The assumption is one which every person who knows the state of Ireland intimately, will admit to be perfectly allowable. What answer then will Mr. LESLIE make to this plain question ? He may contend that we are putting an extreme case. We assert the contrary to be the fact. Pecuniary interests are all-powerful in England ;\ in Ireland a landlord thinks nothing of sacrificing half his rental to rid his estates of papistry. The population of Ireland want employment, and the country has vast resources of wealth which, only require development to afford 'profitable labour in abundance. The remedy is therefore obvious enough : —Throw the onus of maintaining the starving poor on the landlords, and not only will the railroad be soon made, but machinery will be imported ; factories will be built, canals will be opened, mines will be ex plored, bogs will be drained, agriculture will be en couraged, and in less than twenty years Ireland will become in reality the right arm of the British empire. There is too much talk about the vices of the poor— too little reference to the irresponsibility of the rich in all Mr. LESLIE'S pamphlets. The O'SULLIVAN humbug has had but ill luck in Scotland. Our countrymen on tie other side of the Tweed are a shrewd, sensible race, not easily imposed upon by appearances, and, least of all, by religious appearances. When pretensions are put forth to su perior purity and holiness, the Scotch are slow in giving credit to the professions of those who proclaim themselves the possessors of these Christian graces. No people in the world see more clearly through the mask—none better interpret the blustering fervour or sanctimonious whine of the hypocrite than they do. We are, therefore, not in the least surprised that they have scouted the claims of such fellows as M‘GHEIt and O'SULLIVAN - men who, under the pre tence of a zeal for true religion, ramble about the country, making game of Godliness, by trafficking in scandal, calumny, and forgery,—stirring up strife between man and man—blowing the coals of Sectarian rancour—setting brother against brother, the son against the father, and the father against the son, and labouring like true emissaries of Him whom they serve, to convert men into demons, and earth into hell. These holy men, taking unto themselves two helps meet for them,—namely, a pious scaramouch of the name of CooK, from Ireland, who has lately been playing off some queer antics in the Synod of Ulster, and an excommunicated Catholic Priest—one CROTTY, a renegade, whose name stinks in the nostril—made their appearance lately at Glasgow. They set to work in their usual way, got together a few of the faithful, who undertook to distribute tickets, so as t o secure such an audience as would listen to their abuse of the Catholics, and their pious denunciations of all who were not of the same way of thinking as themselves. This trick they tried a second time with equal success. The third time, however, fortune failed them. They thought they would dispense with the formality of the ticket, and throw open their doors to the public. And what was the consequence ? Just what might have been expected. The public feeling revolted at the disgusting exhibition, and such an uproar ensued as could be suppressed only by a numerous body of po lice called in to give effect to the arguments of the intol erants by the argumentum baculinum ; though, as the party themselves conf e ss, no t th e l eas t a tt empt at viol ence was made by the audience, who merely used the pri v il ege genera ll y conce d e d to a Br i t i sh utoof expres s i ng their disapprobation of the sapedeichry, deliv ere d. es It excuse fo r this necessa r y, course, to find some plau s ibl e funexpected ebullition of p o p u l ar feel ing,Ya fo s and the happy expedient suggested itself of lay ing the blame upon the Catholics, though there is not the least evidence that a single Catholic was at the meeting. But a " Popish plot" - 5 too good a thing to be let slip, when the Catholics are to bepersecuted. The fanatics—no ! fanaticism implies sincerity.. the hollow hearted hypocrites, who had been defeated in their attempt to enlist the public sentiment of Glasgow in favour of their diabolical designs, now give out that it was the inten tion of the Catholics to cut the gas-pipes, and when the meeting should be in darkness to massacre the Protestants ! I The one part of the meeting was to 'low , 4Pq ~1 ~ ..~ ~~ . THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1836. put the other to death in the dark !1 ! The ci-devant Father CROTTY must have had a drop too much when this bright thought struck him. ___ We see the enlightened advocates of Protestantism —those consistent persons, who are constantly dinning in our ears their belief that Protestantism is the only true form of Christian faith, and boasting that it is able, as the work of God, to defend itself against all opposition, are not ashamed to have recourse to carnal weapons in its defence. A merchant of Glasgow, CAMPBELL by name, has offered a reward of 501. per annum to such Catholic priests, not exceeding thirty in number, as shall renounce their religion and become Protestants. Here is a noble testimony to the efficacy of the Protestant religion. Here is a happy solution of that most difficult of all problems—how to serve God and Mammon at the same time. Shall the gates of hell ever prevail against a faith so sup ported ? This plan of Mr. CAMPBELL'S for recruiting the ranks of Protestantism, ingenious as it is, is not alto gether original. It seems to have been borrowed from an ancient Chieftain of the Clan Gordon, who when his clansmen had been much thinned by a famine, offered a boll of oatmeal to every family who would drop their own name, and take the name of Gordon. The scheme succeeded to a certain extent—the claims of hunger were too powerful for the clannish feelings of some of the half-and-half caste of Highlanders— but the true Gordons always distinguished the intru ders by the name of the " Bow-'o-meal Gordons." The Post of this morning, in an article on the sub ject of Peerage Reform, takes the opportunity of sneering at the opinion in its favour which is daily gaining ground in Scotland, observing, " perhaps it is true that the preponderance of the popular feeling in Scotland is in favour of revolution ; but what then ? The Legislative Constitution of the British empire is not to be revolutionized because a proverbially sour, sullen people, with an enormous quantity of self-esteem, are angry that they have not their own way in every thing. The Scotch are an exceedingly shrewd, clever people, none upon the face of the earth more so ; but they happen to be so very conscious of this themselves, that seven out of every ten of the Scotch people think they could give much better advice how to rule the empire than any man who sits in the House of Peers." We say nothing of the good taste, and liberal, gentle manlike spirit of this passage, where a whole people is accused of being " proverbially sour and sullen," and cursed with inordinate vanity : our object is with the admission which the writer—reluctantly enough, it must be confessed—makes, that " the pre ponderance of the popular feeling in Scotland is in favour" of Peerage Reform, or " revolution," as he conveniently phrases it. This admission is every way a just one. The Scotch are in favour of a Reform in the Upper House, and for this reason, that they clearly see there is no chance of bringing the Lords to a sense of their duty without it. They have not adopted this opinion hastily or passionately ; it is not a mere matter of impulse with them—a headstrong prejudice to be fostered one day, laid aside the next ; far otherwise ; their advocacy of Peerage Reform is the slowly formed result of long and diligent consi deration—of that consideration which characterizes all they say or do. And is an opinion thus cautiously adopted, after the experience of three Sessions, to be treated with ridicule, as wholly unworthy of refuta tion ? Whatever our Contemporary may think of it, sure we are that the more intelligent and moderate Conservatives will not consider it as so supremely absurd. They, at least, will give the opinion of Scotland its due weight ; and greatly in deed shall we be mistaken, if we do not see its effects in their votes throughout the next Session. But mark the glaring inconsistency of this Tory journalist ! In the feelings of a whole kingdom, he can see nothing but absurdity ; while in those of a paltry faction, he discovers the essence of all wisdom. He denies that to unanimous Scotland, which he concedes without stint or reservation to some hundred and seventy Tory Lords--that is, the right of forming an opinion for herself ! And so arguing, he conceives himself to be advancing the cause of justice and common sense ! Now we will venture to say that we will pick out of any town in Scotland —say Edinburgh, Glasgow, or Dundee—at least one hundred and seventy individuals, moving in the middle walks of life, and no way distinguished among their neighbours, who shall possess quite as much as political intelligence, and a far keener sense of political justice, than the hundred and seventy Tories in the House of Lords. It is not the coronet that makes the statesman—how ever it may perfect the Peer—else we should not find a LONDONDERRY drivelling nightly such nonsense in our highest court of judicature. Having, as he no doubt imagines, made Scotland a bye-word and a laughing-stock among nations, by the irresistible vi gour of his sarcasm and ridicule, our self-complacent Contemporary goes onto say " nothing can be more apparent than that Ministers are quaking for the permanence of their ill-gotten and worse-maintain ed official power. In all quarters the terror oozes out, and will not be restrained. It is apparent that all England is disgusted by the mean subser viency of an incapable Government." All this is very apparent, no doubt. The disgust of " all England" with Ministers was unequivocally manifested at the late Reform dinners at Leeds—at' Taunton—at Halifax—at Coventry—and hundreds of other places that we could enumerate—where the prevailing feel ings were those of confidence in Government, and dis gust towards its opponents ! When to this, we add the facts that Scotland and Ireland are Ministerial almost to a man, it must be still more " apparent" that Government—to quote our Contemporary's own words —is " quaking for the permanence" of its authority. • b . itants of the Spanish Cerdagna seek refuge in peat numbers in our territory. " ' SEPT. 30.—Marotto evacuated Alp on the morning of the 29th, with 3,000 men, on the approach of 2,000 Christinos and two pieces of artillery, under Gurrea. " ' 600 Christinos and Milicians of Puycerda, having too hastily attacked the Carlists at the pass of Rosas, were re pulsed by therm, and relieved only by the arrival of Gurrea, who pursued Marotto as far as Molina, and then returned in the evening to Puycerda with his troops. The loss on both sides was insignificant. " ' The last mail from Valencia has not reached Barce- lona.' " In all this there is nothing of importance, though made the subject of telegraphic communications. The following official dispatch from Bayonne, dated the Ist inst., is, however, worthy of attention : " Gomez has retired into the Sierra d'Alcarrez, between Murcia and La Mancha. The new expedition, commanded by Sanz, and at first destined for Castile, has entered the As turias. Villareal made a demonstration in the valley of Mena to protect its entry. Two battalions embarked on the 28th ult. at St. Sebastian for Gijon, in order to oppose this invasion." We learn from private but authentic sources, that at an early hour on the 28th, the Salamander steamer arrived at San Sebastian from Santander, bringing advices that the Carlist Chief SANZ, at the head of 4,000 men, had been escorted as far as Carandia by VILLAREAL, and that the former Chief was about to make another excursion into the Asturias. A Council of War was immediately held, at which General EVANS, Commodore Lord JOHN HAY, and Colonel WYLDE were present, and in which it was resolved that 2,300 picked soldiers, a few pieces of artillery, and a proper supply of ammunition, should be sent on board three of the steamers in the harbour, to be landed at Gijon, in the Asturias. This port is only a few leagues distant from Oviedo, the capital ; so that the QUEEN'S troops can easily be in possession of it some days before the arrival of the insurgents. On the night of the 28th, the men em barked on board the Phcenix, the Salamander, and the James Watts. They were in the highest spirits, and everything had been provided for their accommodation. The command of this expedition was given to Don TIBURCIO TORABOZO, Colonel of the Saragossa Regiment—a brave officer, esteemed by the authorities for his excellent conduct, and beloved by his men for his cordial appreciation of strict military discipline. It is not to be expected that the Carlists will remain passive spectators of this decrease in the number of their enemies. The absence of so large a portion of the regular garrison, will doubtless lead to a violent attack upon the British lines, with a view to storm and re-take the town. No doubt some such plan was con templated by the Carlist leaders, when they resolved to entrust the command of the Asturian expedition to SANZ. If an attack be made upon San Sebastian, it will be by the whole Carlist force under the personal inspection of VILLA REAL. But all this must have been foreseen, and provided against by General EvANs, before he consented to the decimation of the force under his command. The other accounts in these Journals relate principally to the KING'S popu larity ; the policy of Ministers ; and the state of affairs in Spain. The Gazette de France asserts positively that the KING was encompassed at Compeigne by a secret body guard of 2,000 men, whose duty it was to protect his person ; and that so strict were they in obeying their instructions, that several officers were prevented from approaching the CITIZEN KING so nearly as to expose him to the danger of contact with a pistol bullet. The same Journal states that a well-known public writer has been sent to Lon don, for the purpose of endeavouring to render the British Press favourable to the MOLE Administration. Madrid Journals, received to the 26th ult., contain a Royal decree, which declares that the property of all ecclesiastics residing in foreign countries, and whose permission to leave Spain does not date since Decem ber, 1835, is sequestered to the wants of the State. Those ecclesiastics whose permission to leave Spain dates since December, 1835, will receive restitution for losses incurred by the sale of their benefices ; but as their absence proves that they are negligent of their sacred duties, or that such duties can be dispensed with, the benefices themselves will be sold, without any reservation whatever. This decree is prospective, as well as retrospective. All ecclesiastics who shall quit Spain, under any pretext whatsoever, will forfeit what ever Church property they possess in the kingdom. The capital was tranquil. Since the defeat of GomEz, the QUEEN'S troops had made 300 more of the enemy prisoners. The QUEEN was in excellent health. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.)

In a letter addressed by Mr. O'CoNNELL to Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, the Honourable and Learned Member for Kilkenny again expresses himself favour able to the introduction of a poor law into Ireland.

In that letter I will touch upon many matters which have lately engrossed public attention, and parti cularly on a Poor Law, a subjec t w hi c h h as i n this country, excited no small share of mistaken but sincere benevolen ce , and has elicited a good deal of cant, hypocrisy, and gross ignorance.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY), Jabez Thomas Fisher and George Arnold, copper. plate printers, applied upon their petitions to be discharged. Their debts amounted to upwards of 8001. They were supported by Mr. COOKE. It appeared from the statement of the insolvent, Fisher, that they had carried on the business of copper-plate printers, in partnership, for about two years and a-half, in Milton-street, Somers-town. His partner, Arnold, had been assisted by oc casional advances from his father, Mr. Arnold, the landscape painter, and member of the . Royal Academy, amounting to 265/., for which he had obtained a warrant of attorney, in March last, and had put an execution into the h ouse . Mr. Arnold, sen., was examined, and deposed to the amount of the loans, and his having obtained a warrant of Attorney. The sale of the property took place on the 3d of August, and realized 165/., after paying rent, taxes, and the Sheriff's ex penses. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER — The insolvents were arrested on the 21st July, and the sale took place on the 3d of August, and of course cannot be supported, as it is contrary to the pro visions of the Act of Parliament. These insolvents cannot be discharged until the proceeds of the sale are paid into Court, arid then let Mr. Arnold come in pari passu with the other creditors. If Mr. Arnold will not do that, he will be liable to an action at the suit of the other creditors. Mr. COOKE having explained the clause in the Act of Par liament to Mr. Arnold, be at once consented to pay the money into Court, and the case was postponed for that purpose. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) BO W-STREET. James Dupere was charged upon suspicion of stealing a hat. A policeman saw him running through Bream's-buildings, in Chancery-lane, last night, about twelve o'clock, with a silk hat in his hand, besides one on his head. He stopped him, and was told he had picked it up. He took him into custody. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he was an appren tice to his father, a waterman, plying at Temple-stairs. He was at a concert last night, and was running home because he was so late. In Leather-lane he kicked the hat before him, and seeing no one near, he picked it up and took it with hint. He offered to take the policeman to the spot, and give up the hat. Mr. HALLS—WeII, policeman, why did you not accept that offer, and investigate the affair? Policeman—l was afraid of getting a good beating. I thought he might have led me among a parcel of his comrades. Mr. HALLS—You are a very courageous fellow, and well fitted for your duty. It is a case of suspicion. The hat must be detained, and the prisoner must be discharged. DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK India Stock 256 Ditto Bonds 9 11 pm.

Edward Hargreave, Mary Ann Hargreave, and Eliza Sey mour were this morning brought before Sir JOHN KEY, charged by police constable James, of the M Division, with raising a disturbance this morning in the London-road. The police constable stated that he was on duty this morn ing between one and two o'clock in York-street, London-road, where he saw the prisoners, who were the worse for liquor, raising a great disturbance ; on his going up to them, and de siring them to desist, he was assailed with a volley of abuse, called a blue lobster, and told that it was such persons as them (the prisoners) who kept him from starving, and bought the coat he had on his back for him. Notwithstanding this pro vocation, he advised them to go home quietly, but the conduct of all three was so outrageous that he was ultimately obliged to take them into custody. Sir JOHN KEY (to the two females)—Don't you think it most disgraceful to be out at so late an hour raising disturb ances in the streets? The Male Prisoner—lf your Worship will allow me I will explain it. We had been out to a friend's, and were return ing home down York-street, when one of the police came up and said if we wanted anything to drink we could get it over yonder, pointing to a public-house. He said he was going there himself to get some gin, and we could have any thing we wanted. We went in, but as gin, your Worship, is a thing I cannot take, I called for a glass of porter ; for doing this I was called a shabby fellow, and some little disturbance did take place, but I interfered as little as possible in it. The policeman says I made a disturbance in the streets; I deny it, unless it is a disturbance to sing the national song of " Rule Britannia ;" if it is, I plead guilty. Sir JOHN KEY—Well, if I let you go, will you promise me not to raise a disturbance in the street again, and go home earlier in future ? All three promising they would, the worthy Alderman ordered them to be discharged. HATTON-GARDEN. John Edmunds, alias John Joyce, and William Brown, two ill-looking fellows, were brought before Mr. LAING this morn ing, in custody of Policeman G 52, under the following cir cumstances : The policeman stated that, as he was going his round this morning about two o'clock, he perceived the prisoners endea vouring to force an entrance into a yard belonging to Mr. Pretty, an extensive livery-stable keeper in Garnault-mews, Islington ; and having watched the prisoners for some time, he endeavoured to take them into custody, when one of them made his escape by running, but was shortly afterwards taken into custody. The prisoners denied all knowledge of each other, and also denied having any felonious intention. Mr. LAINo not believing the prisoners' statement, ordered them to be imprisoned for three months in the House o Correction. Waddington (the gaoler) identified the prisoner Brown, as having been some time ago convicted from this Office, for stealing a pair of trousers. Wm. Webb, the driver of a cab No. 629, was brought up in custody charged with furiously driving the cab so as to en danger the lives of foot passengers. In consequence of the rate at which it was going, one of the wheels came off, which caused the upset of the cab, doing damage to the amount of fifteen pounds. He was sentenced to pay a fine of 205., or be imprisoned for a month. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. There are moderate arrivals of most kinds of Grain this week.

The flames were first seen to break forth through the lower windows of the school, by a private watchman, who instantly gave the alarm to the police, and messengers were despatched to fetch the engines. In the interim the flames had gained a fearful as cendancy, having rapidly run from the lower to the upper part of the school. The whole building was in about ten minutes wrapt in an entire body of flame, which burnt with great fierceness, and seemed to threaten inevitable destruction to the whole fabric. The interior of the school soon became one mass of fire, and was rapidly communicating to the central part of the building. The General and Medical School had already caught fire, when fortunately the Fire Brigade, with their engines, arrived, and a plentiful supply of water being promptly obtained, the further progress of the flames was ar rested, and by about seven o'clock the fire was so subdued that no apprehension of further injury from it was entertained, and it was ultimately completely got under. The damage done to the building was very great, some say to the amount of between 5,0001. and 6,0001. Most providentially no lives were lost, which may be ascribed to none of the inmates sleeping in that part of the University. How the fire originated is not known ; a strict inquiry will, however, be set on foot. The building is amply insured in several offices. At first there was a great want of water, a fault, unfortunately but too common, when any serious fire breaks out. Colonel Maberly, the new Secretary to the General Post-office, who has entered on his official duties in that de partment, in the room of the late Sir Francis Freeling, gains, it is understood, the increase of nearly :3,000/. per annum, by his removal from the Board of Customs to his new appoint ment. The last return of the emoluments of the Secretary to the Post-office were stated at 4,1651., besides furnished apart ments, coals, candles, &c. His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael of Russia and suite are expected to arrive in a few days, on a visit to this country; his Highness is at present on a visit to his relatives the Prince and Princess of Orange, at the Hague. Lord John Russell has sat for his bust to Mr. Peter Hollins, the sculptor, whose labours have met the approbation of the Noble Lord and his friends and relatives. His Lord ship sat to Mr. Hollins, at Tunbridge Wells, about three weeks since. _ _ _ ------- To-morrow will be the anniversary of the birth-day of Louis Philippe, the King of the French, who will then have attained his 63d year. Among other ceremonies that distinguish his Majesty's name day, he will sign contracts of marriage for a certain number of young men and girls, of good character, and well recommended. ___ . There are rumours that two illustrious personages vtry shortly intend to pay a visit to Bath—viz., his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, and his Grace the Duke of Wellington. The latter, we know, will be very soon in the immediate neighbourhood, at his Noble Friend's, the Duke of Beaufort. The visit of the Duke of Sussex is reported to be connected with a grand Masonic Festival.— Western Luminary. The Earl and Countess of Cork have left Marston House for Bath. The weather has, during the latter days of the week, been extremely boisterous at Liverpool. On Saturday night the fall of the barometer indicated the approAch of a storm, which, about midnight, swept over the town fr om the N. W. Several vessels were driven on shore, in the course of Sunday morning, in Bootle Bay. They have sustained considerable damage, but happily no lives have been lost. CALCUTTA.—The exports from the Clyde and Liverpool to this port during the last nine mont'ns exceed those of the corresponding period of last year by 1'2,000,000 yards of cotton-piece goods, and by 1,500,0001 b. weight of cotton yarn. The excess in these two articles alone is 355,000/. — Glasgow Argus. _ ......,.... ~.__ WINDSOR.-TUESDAY. Yeterday Lord A. Fitzclarence, and Lady Mary Fox, ar rived at the Castle.
